The wife and I stayed here two nights in #5. They had karaoke the first night and a band the second night. We had a great time. We never tried the food but we enjoyed our stay.

Stayed here for 5 nights, it is wonderful little motel. Room was spacious, had full size fridge, microwave, k cup type coffee maker, a good size counter with some cupboards and drawers for silverware. It even had a perfect knitting spot. The staff is amazing, from the owner to the housekeeper. I recommend this place. The food is good, especially the smash burgers and beer batter French fries.

Came from out of town for a wedding. Got the chance to experience their food and service for the party and later on for dinner. Love their wings and the Farm Hand chicken grilled. Every time here the food & service is great!

What I had was good. They charged me. 50c extra for a cup of ranch. Really? Cheesey. Not impressed with the burgers on the menu. The burgers are 1/3 lb. Priced at over $15.00 could at least have 8oz burgers minimum. I travel the world and have gotten outstanding 8oz burgers for a lot less. Would I go back. Not for the food.

Rob and team are awesome! Great service and home cooked food! Bar has a wide selection of drinks too. Fun events as well! Rooms are clean and a nice place to stay.

Was here for a race weekend and our group event was planned here. Wasn't here long and we had a back room reserved for our group with small tables and a large cooler of self-serve water. Ordered the Bison Burger with sweet potato fries and a side garden salad. It came with an interesting sweet and tangy sauce. Burger was decent and flavorful and the fries were really great. Service was friendly and prompt, prices fairly reasonable. Easily accessible location in Bigfork tho Maps tries to take you to the liquor store or past so heads up, it is right on the main road into Bigfork.

Went to watch the Groove Riders and had a great time! Nice outdoor venue for listening to lights be music. The jalapeno popper smash burger was excellent! No need for ketchup or mustard. They also have the best steak cut fries around. UPDATE - the food and service can't be beat! I swear they were faster than McDonald's last night! They have the best sweet potato fries and we love the smash burgers.

Karoke nights, casino room and a nice sized bar! Can't beat that. I did have their breaded wings, they were ok. I would have loved the option to get them non-breaded and just fried. Other than that, service was fast and friendly and enjoyed a bit of the casino.

Ate dinner here for the first time for tonight. So good! Great fries! Great cheese curds! Montana dip was amazing! We sat next to where karaoke was supposed to take place but no one sang unfortunately. Our waitress was amazing and so apologetic about it being busy but the wait wasn't even that long. Great trivia, memes, and sports games on all the tvs. We love A Bar but this place might have it beat! Only complaint was my husbands bucking bronco burger could have used more bbq sauce

No cheese or onions on the chili cheese fries. Next time almost no chili or cheese and tons of onion! Ordered a week later, requested the chili along with the cheese and onions be put in a ramekin so that I could proportion the dish. Charged me $4 extra then later that week after bringing it up to the owner, he kicked me out of his establishment forever! I don't get some people.

Smash burger is legit! Fries and onion rings are done just right not too over or under done. Also tried the Gyro and chicken strips on a subsequent visit and very much enjoyed those as well. Service is very friendly and you just get a good vibe hanging out here. We will be back! Oh and make sure and get the fried green beans maple bacon aioli dipper is killer.

The chicken was tender and the sauce yummy. Went crazy for the fried sweet potato with Ranch. The beef dip was complex with sweet red bell pepper and onions and a generous amount. Good service.

OKAY.. this place is awesome! Took a road trip today and needed a place to land for the night. I wasn't expecting much for rooms, but my room was OUTSTANDING! The hospitality, food and accommodations were more than I could have asked for! Great live music! Had the Big sky smashburger.. YUM!!

$10 for two beers during happy hour was a surprise especially given the slow service but what can you do, when you want an IPA, you want an IPA. They have a casino too, nothing too wild but it's good if you want to say you stopped at a "casino" while in Montana.

Great addition to bigfork for some dinner! Great outdoor space In back with a bar usually playing live music on the stage. I think it may be my favorite outdoor eating in bigfork . good bar food and great service

Wish we could give ZERO stars!!! We are native Montanans and decided to check this place out that we drive by all the time. There were four patrons sitting at the bar and four employees behind the bar. We were NOT acknowledged - not even a quick hello, we will be right with you - for five minutes. Then, two employees had their backs to us as a third (facing and looking at us) proceeded to complain about a co-worker who wouldn't acknowledge or talk to her!!!! Seriously, as we were in her direct line of sight!! At that point, we left. We couldn't see anyone in the casino, the restaurant, or the four people who were at the bar with us. A simple "hello" and acknowledgment cost them at least $100 (maybe more). We will likely never make the time to stop there ever again on our way through town to our family's places on a lake west of Kalispell (which we visit weekly from Missoula).

Restaurant under mew management and the food is AMAZING! Bar is great, outdoor concert area is so cool with the backdrop of the Swan Range mountains. Can only say this is a gem!

Tourists Trap!!! Over priced I'd rather have eaten at McDonalds. Burger was dry and had no flavor and the drinks were watered down.
